Pollution & Cleanup
Let's take the dread out of the word Superfund first. The list below is a statewide screening view, not an address check, and a site somewhere in Nebraska does not mean a given home is affected. Nebraska's industrial footprint is relatively light and shaped largely by agriculture and processing rather than heavy manufacturing corridors, which colors what tends to appear here. Cleanup is shared: the federal EPA runs the national Superfund program, and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) is the state-side partner. Use this page to see what the public records show statewide, and treat any specific address as its own question worth reviewing separately.
In Nebraska, contaminated-site cleanup is a joint effort between the federal EPA and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE), which serves as the state-side partner on Superfund and runs its own state remediation and voluntary-cleanup work. The NDEE helps track and oversee sites both on and off the federal list. On PFAS at contaminated sites, Nebraska tends to follow the federal program rather than setting separate state cleanup numbers. So while Superfund sounds ominous, the everyday reality is that a named state office is helping manage these sites alongside EPA.
No PFAS-confirmed NPL Superfund sites listed in Nebraska
Our curated dataset of PFAS-confirmed National Priorities List sites currently shows none in Nebraska. That's reassuring on the PFAS-Superfund front, but not a full all-clear: EPA's broader Superfund/SEMS inventory includes many non-PFAS and earlier-stage sites that aren't in this list. To see every EPA Superfund site near a particular Nebraska property — plus its water, PFAS, flood, and air profile — check the specific address.

VetMyAddress maps nearby EPA Superfund/NPL sites and grades the address A–F alongside its water, PFAS, flood, and air data.
An empty PFAS-confirmed Superfund list for Nebraska is welcome news, but it is not a clean bill of health. The NDEE and EPA maintain a far wider SEMS inventory than the PFAS-confirmed slice, so a quiet result here usually means this narrow category is empty in the state, not that every concern has been cleared. Read it as a calm starting point rather than a final verdict.
A site appearing on this page means EPA has confirmed PFAS contamination at a National Priorities List Superfund site somewhere in Nebraska. It is a statewide screening list. It does not tell you the distance from any specific home, the exposure pathway, or whether the local drinking-water system is affected.
For a specific property, the things that actually matter are:
That address-level synthesis — nearest-site distance plus the home's full environmental profile in one A–F grade — is what the VetMyAddress report is for.
Superfund cleanup in Nebraska is co-managed by the federal EPA, which runs the national program, and the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE), which serves as the state-side partner and runs its own remediation and voluntary-cleanup work.
The current count for Nebraska is shown in the table on this page, drawn from live federal records. The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy partners with EPA to oversee these listed sites across the state.
The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, or NDEE, is the state agency that protects Nebraska's water, land, and air and works alongside EPA on contaminated-site cleanup, including Superfund sites.
Our curated dataset of PFAS-confirmed NPL Superfund sites currently lists none in Nebraska. That is not a clean bill of health: EPA's broader Superfund/SEMS inventory includes many non-PFAS and assessment-stage sites. A specific-address report checks the full EPA SEMS database near the property.
Proximity is a starting point, not a verdict. Real-world impact depends on distance, the type of contamination, the exposure pathway (groundwater, soil, vapor), the home's water source, and the cleanup stage. A site two miles away marked 'construction complete' is very different from an active site next door.
Use VetMyAddress to see EPA Superfund/NPL sites near any Nebraska address, bundled with the home's drinking water, PFAS, flood zone, and air-quality data in a single plain-English A–F grade. EPA's own ECHO database (echo.epa.gov) is the free, official source if you prefer to dig through the raw records.
It means PFAS ('forever chemicals') have been documented in the contamination at that National Priorities List site. PFAS is persistent and can migrate through groundwater, so a confirmed PFAS site is worth pairing with the home's drinking-water and PFAS data to understand the exposure pathway.
